By all worldly standards Nebuchadnezzar was one of the most remarkable people in history. He is famous for re-building the city and the nation of Babylon in splendor and glory.

How the Apostles longed for the setting up of the Kingdom of Israel. They had been with Jesus as he travelled through the land preaching, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15).
